Crazy government spending
Here’s proof politicians are WASTING your money on unbelievably stupid things.
WARNING: some of these examples are for mature audiences (including the first one).
The federal government spent $8,800 on a sex toy show in Germany called “Whose jizz is this?”
It spent $12,500 so seniors in other countries could talk about their sex lives in front of live audiences.
The government spent $1,700 on a musical called “Lesbian Pirates!,” $7,500 to promote diversity, equity and inclusion at a music festival in Estonia, and $8,100 to organize DJ workshops in Turkey and Georgia for the LGBTQ community to “bring more diversity into the world of DJing.”
While Canadians wait forever to get a hip replacement, the government spent $7.2 million for a “gender-responsive systems approach to universal health care in the Philippines.”
The feds also spent $12.5 million on “vacant land” in West Africa, $10 million on a chancery in Ukraine and $41 million on properties in Afghanistan that were abandoned to the Taliban.
The bureaucracy cost taxpayers like you $40.2 billion when Justin Trudeau became prime minister. Now it costs you $69.5 billion. That’s a 73 per cent increase in less than a decade.
No matter who becomes the next prime minister, we need an army of taxpayers pushing back against bureaucrats, lobbyists and activists who want to waste more of your money. And it’s a good bet those bureaucrats will try to hide wasteful spending from politicians looking to cut the fat. It’s time to roll up your sleeves to fight back.

USAID wasn’t just funding biased reporting. They were actively reshaping foreign governments.
Former State Department official Mike Benz, an expert on cyber policy, censorship, and information warfare, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience Wednesday and dropped jaw-dropping insights into USAID’s absurd abuse of US tax dollars.
According to Benz, USAID has been funneling taxpayer dollars into so-called investigative journalism, but the real goal isn’t transparency—it is control.
“Everything they do is a hit piece about an instance of corruption that can be used by prosecutors in the area to arrest the political opponents of the State Department,” Benz explained.
USAID’s program, officially called Strengthening Transparency and Accountability through Investigative Reporting, claims to promote a free press. But Benz revealed its true purpose is to ruin people’s lives and go after political targets in order to change the policies of foreign governments from the inside.

For a mere investment of $20 million, USAID’s state-sponsored hit pieces were able to:
• Generate at least $4.5 billion in fines against targets of these hit pieces.
• Influence over 548 policy changes across foreign governments and private sectors.
USAID justified these programs under the term “capacity building,” which Benz warned is a red flag. “Now, this is the phrase everybody has to know. Capacity building is what this is all built under. That means pumping up the Blob’s assets,” he explained.
And USAID wasn’t just funding biased reporting. They were actively reshaping foreign governments. Benz revealed 548 policy changes resulted from these state-sponsored media attacks, which he suggested were for the “furtherance of USAID’s or the State Department’s foreign policy goals.”
Think about what that means. The U.S. government is secretly funding media outlets to push narratives, destroy political opponents, and manipulate foreign policy, all under the guise of investigative journalism.
The question is – if they’re doing this overseas, how much of it is happening at home?

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced $881 million in cuts to Education Department contracts, targeting diversity training and research programs.
Key Details:
- About 170 contracts for the Institute of Education Sciences were terminated.
- The cuts include 29 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training grants worth $101 million.
- The move comes as President Trump is expected to issue an executive order to wind down the Education Department.
Diving Deeper:
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) confirmed Monday night that it had cut $881 million in Education Department contracts, marking a major step in the Trump administration’s plan to restructure the agency. The cuts target nearly 170 contracts, including several linked to the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the department’s research division.
Among the terminations are 29 grants related to diversity, equity, and inclusion training, which collectively totaled $101 million. One of the grants aimed to train teachers on how to help students “interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression” and recognize “areas of privilege and power,” according to DOGE’s statement.
The American Institutes for Research, a nonprofit specializing in social science studies, confirmed that it received multiple termination notices for IES contracts on Monday. “The money that has been invested in research, data, and evaluations that are nearing completion is now getting the taxpayers no return on their investment,” said Dana Tofig, a spokesperson for AIR. He argued that the terminated research was essential to evaluating which federal education programs are effective.
The cuts coincide with President Trump’s expected executive order to wind down the Education Department, a long-standing conservative policy goal. Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee for Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, is set to testify before Congress on Thursday.
The Education Department and DOGE have yet to comment on the specifics of the terminations. However, the move signals a clear shift in priorities, with the administration pushing to reduce federal involvement in education spending, particularly in programs aligned with progressive social initiatives.
